Catch the Wave: Adventures in Sound and Light

Who can attend?

Students entering grades 2-3.

When is it?

June 21-25, 2010.

This camp runs from 8 am - 2 pm, and has a camper-to-staff ratio of 4:1.

What's covered?

Surf's up in the lab this summer as your children discover how the properties of light and sound mimic the rhythmic movements in our oceans.

Your child(ren) will explore their senses and learn more about what helps us to see and hear. They’ll also investigate how light and sound travel through things and what comes out on the other end!

Join our orchestra of musical instruments made from water glasses, straws, coat hangers and rubber bands to learn about how different sounds are made and how sound travels.

Your child will also:

Make a periscope that lets you see around corners or as we learn about how light reflects off mirrors.
Make a rainbow using a homemade prism, and learn what the Archer Fish has to do to catch bugs sitting on a leaf above the water.
Write a secret message decipherable only with the right colored filter.
Students will make Pipes of Pan, periscopes, “rainbow hats,” homemade prisms, and keep a science notebook of all the activities we do.

From the instrumental sounds of their favorite piece of music to the color palette of their last finger-painting masterpiece, this adventure will bring the science behind sound and light out of the shadows.

On Friday's closing ceremony, parents are welcome to attend and watch as each camper "graduates" from Science - U!
